Description
During video calls between element-web and element-android users, the element-web user will see an extremely distorted picture if the element-android's device is oriented vertically.
If the android user rotates their phone horizontally, the distortion goes away.
This behavior has been tested on five phones:
1. Pixel 3a with stock Android 11: DISTORTED
2. Pixel 3 with CalyxOS Android 11: DISTORTED
3. Pixel 4a with stock Android 11: Not distorted
4. Google Pixel (gen1) with stock Android 10: Not distorted
5. Unihertz Jelly2 with stock Android 10: Not distorted
Testing was performed with a combination of accounts, homed to matrix.org and mssj.me. mssj.me is currently running Synapse 1.29.0. Android apps were installed from either the Google Play store or F-Droid, and are up to date with their respective repositories.
